New video! Battlefield 6 on AMD FX...it's possible
I've been out to test whether BF6's minimum requirements are actually in place and made some interesting discoveries.

I sometimes think of this book I read nearly a decade ago… just came across it in storage.

Dug out the mighty quad Opteron to see if I can restore the failed memory channels. Luckily there aren’t many socket pins to check lol

The BlueSky influx seems to be over, with daily likers dropping by nearly a million users since last month, though data might be incomplete. I hope the current user base is still enough to keep it going and gain traction in the future.

Further in the light of Intel's tumultuous times and job cuts, it's mad to think Intel is about as big as AMD, NVIDIA and TSMC -combined-, employing over 125000.

250W remained the standard for many generations until Ampere and Ada

It’s funny how we used to see the GTX 480 as the pinnacle of excess power consumption and heat, with a TDP of 250W. Yet today’s RTX 4090 has a 450W(!!) TDP but doesn’t have that same stigma. I suppose the 480’s loud and inadequate, grill-like cooler played a big part that…

You know I might switch to Mac sooner than I thought

I'd love to get a 1440p 27" OLED display, but as long as the text clarity issues remain, it's a big no no. 4K seems to have alleviated some of the inherent issues, but for me 32" is just too big for comfortable use.

For those still on Windows 10, what's your plan when it's EOL? Windows 11 is still infuriating, MacOS is looking more tempting with a base Mac Mini and Linux still doesn't have MS Office. I am at a bit of a conundrum.
Perhaps switching to MacOS and only keeping a W11 machine for gaming...

#NVIDIA Quarterly revenue per market since 2015. Three years ago gaming was 45% of their revenue, now it's just 9% with 88% coming from the datacenter..

On this day in 2002, 22 years ago, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire were first released.

These games started the third generation and introduced 135 new Pokémon. It told the story of you stopping Team Aqua or Team Magma

Citrix will be overjoyed with this. Also, is it just me, or does it appear we have now gone full circle on thin-clients?

I’ve seen a few of the new electric Renault 5s around they look ace. We need more affordable small electric cars and Renault is on it with retro designs… now for a reboot of the OG Espace…

With Intel’s recent struggles, the Alder Lake chips are aging like fine wine in comparison. As good as Sandy Bridge was?

In the light of Apple's move to 16GB of RAM it's honestly quite baffling how that has remained an OK amount of memory. 13 years ago I paid under 80 euros for 16GB of DDR3, common amount for a "premium" build in 2011. However, 13 years before that, in 1998, 32MB - 500(!) times less, was the standard.
